I'd like to use this with my Roland TD11 Drums. Is it easy to assign pads for EZ Drummer? It seems to me this would be a great upgrade in sounds.

I have never used Toontrack that way because I'm not a drummer like yourself so I can't say yes, but I can not believe they don't have a very simple implementation given that triggers have been used on electronic. Drums for some. 30 years!

It's pretty abrupt. You can adjust your play style to give it a better feel, but it's a pretty harsh curve. The only uses for this controller that I've found works best is composition and triggering loops. It works well for drum machines, but anything like velocity sensitive synths, keyboards, and orchestras are tricky to pull of perfectly with this.

Well i owned it for maybe four days and used it maybe 8 hours total. On the fourth day the hi-hat completely stopped working and i could hear the snare becoming less audible. I ended up returning it and goin with the yamaha dtx 400 kit. The pads are a bit smaller but as soon as you recieve you can tell that they're much more durable than the alesis. I've had it about a month now, no problems. The dtx is also better to accommodate people of different sizes. Plenty area to adjust pads to your liking because I'm pretty tall and I sit a lot more comfortably with the height of the dtx as apposed to alesis. I saw several different bundles of the dtx on amazon. Most right around 500. Great buy for the price! Well i owned it for maybe four days and used it maybe 8 hours total.

Yes, it lets you customize each individual drum. Its awesome, but I keep finding myself going back to ez drummer. Just so easy to use, fast setup, and great sound! But if you're real particular about details, superior drummer will give you what you're looking for!

Yes, I have used the Toontrack Americana EZX Expansion Pack with and works great. It plugged right in and showed up in the drum set tree. I hope that helps. Jay

There is an input feature that should address your amp/mixer handily, although I can't saying how it well it will work. There are individuals who rely solely upon their Rolands for recordings and several I've heard use amp/mixer inputs.

Hey, I have these drums, I'm not sure about additional triggers, you have two audio outs, one for headset and one for output good for recording on the computer through the mic input and an audio in. You also get a MIDI output, and if you have a MIDI to USB cable then you can connect the drumset to your computer and use it as a MIDI controller for your virtual kit, you just have to change some settings on the drums, I never used it this way, but the user's manual has a section dedicated to this function.

It has 2 ports for external pads. The dual zone pads actually use a stereo 1/4 inch cable. In theory, you could use a splitter and break it out into 4 pads split between the 2 inputs. I have not tried this on the SPD-SX, but I know this process does work with other Roland products.

Direcink has modules for that; both drum and disk.They work with the DirecLinkNE controller.They ain't cheap... about $1,050 - $1,100 for the set.But, I'm going to be buying one for the 9 Ton trailer I just bought.

I use mine as a secondary controller hooked to a Fantom G6 so I have more space to split up the keys during performances, for a midi controller it's awesome, and keys have a consistent feel with the Fantom. Pete's right, though, it has no sound by itself, it has to be connected to some sort of MIDI device to be useful.

You can get a generic "thump" plugging straight in, but it's not very good. You'll need a controller to get any decent sounds. I picked up a used Yamaha DTXpress for $125. Well worth it. The variety of sounds is incredible, and you can add more triggers for other drum sounds. I wound up exchanging my KP65 for the silent pedal KU100. Very happy with it, but I'm a bass player, so I never knew a real bass drum pedal.

The stomp button turns the eq on and off..I just leave it on. The eq adds a lot of control over sound. Btw it is noisy with distortion but isn't with clean channel. If your mainly using it with distortion I would check into a noise gate.

Hello Baker.... so far I've only been playing with a really great single pedal, so I haven't hooked up my double pedal to the kit yet. But, according to this link ----- Alesis DM10X Kit Premium Six-Piece Professional Electronic Drum Set ......... there doesn't seem to be a problem with using a double pedal either. I can tell you this.... the responsiveness of each drum head is superb, as well as the delicacy of each drum stroke. Therefore, I believe you will love the feedback of pedal response, even if there are two beaters sharing the same bass drum head. Hope this helps...

Hi Dave: I bought this switch for use with the Digitech Jimi Hendrix Expressions pedal so I could scroll through the various models and modes instead of bedning over to change settings (bad for the back). What does the roland Cube 40XL have that would suggest this switch might be compatible (I only have a micro cube, since larger amps are OUT where I live).

This is a great set. Sounds like my $1500 electronic drum set on my keyboard amp or headphones. You'll want to get really good headphones, but this is a great system to start on. I had to make a stand to anchor the foot pedals. And even then, the high hat and kicker don't fire every time. But I felt I got my money's worth. I've since upgraded to a Yamaha dtx-562. But that cost about ten times as much. Have fun! :-)
